The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the world’s deadliest to date. According to the UN, 729 people have died as health officials in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone struggle to control the virus.

There are currently no known treatments or vaccines for Ebola, a viral hemorrhagic fever that kills up to 90 percent of those who become infected. The virus spreads through unprotected handling of contaminated corpses, sexual contact, and direct contact with blood, faeces, or sweat.

• Bleeding from the mouth and rectum (gastrointestinal bleeding)
